Stored Tasks
Any task that imports files into a session is
stored with a session when it is closed, and re-
sumes when the session is re-opened.
For example, if you Import Session Data with
Copy From Source Media
selected, then Save and
Close the session before the copy completes, the
copy tasks resume when the session is reopened.
Grouped Tasks
Some tasks consist of many smaller tasks. For in-
stance, Copy and Relink may require hundreds of
individual files to be copied. To help manage
these tasks, they are grouped under the originat-
ing command. So in the example of a Copy and
Relink
command, one copy task would appear
with an Expand/Collapse icon in the Task win-
dow. Clicking the icon shows each of the indi-
vidual sub-tasks.
If there is more than one grouped task in the
queue, all of the sub-tasks for the first group
must be completed before the sub-tasks of the
second group can be processed.
If the session is saved and closed while several of
these group tasks are in the queue, and if those
tasks are the type that can be interrupted and
saved when closing the session, all of the tasks
reappear as part of the same group when the ses-
sion is reopened.
